Octocommanders are a type ofOctarian enemy inOcto Canyon, theOcto Expansion, andReturn of the Mammalians. They resembleOctosnipers but wear sunglasses and attack using asplatling rather than acharger.
Description
Octocommanders look extremely similar toOctosnipers, but they wear a beret and a pair of aviators. They also have fat, purple lips. They are stationed on a platform with a propeller on the back, and the platform can rotate 360 degrees. Theirsplatling gun has six barrels andOctarian designs on the large cylindrical part. Like Octosnipers, they have small, stubby legs.
Octocommanders, like Octosnipers, are stationary, but instead of a charger, Octocommanders use a splatling that initially fires a few shots but rapidly increases its fire rate as it shoots. The splatling has a very high rate of fire when it is shooting at full speed, but the Octocommanders take a break each time they finish firing it to catch their breath, giving the player a chance to safelysplat them.

Trivia
- If the player is standing close enough to an Octocommander, its splatling will be unable to hit them.
- In theNeo Octostomp's boss battle, another Octarian wielding a splatling appears atop the Octostomp's jacket. However, it appears to be anOctotrooper, rather than an Octocommander.
- The beret worn by the Octocommander has a logo matching that of theSPTY sticker. No other uses of this logo have yet been found.
